Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Judson’s early confidence in the Ultima machine’s power to decode Nazi ciphers (Part 1) causes his later willingness to activate it against ancient inscriptions despite personal reservations when ordered by Millington (Part 2), leading to the trap's activation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Judson's belief in 'thinking machines' and his machine-focused expertise creates a causal thread that binds his characterization across episodes. This forms a critical arc: his technocratic faith enables Millington’s manipulation, culminating in disaster.
